    Dust comes in ALL colors…and her insight then is astounding - she was ahead of her time! And i see men still have the same bag of tricks and women are realizing it even more💜

      You are so right! But I really think that it’s not so much that there’s a mass awakening in women about men’s bull, I think women started changing things up once they had the *ability* to do so, i.e. could be self-sufficient.

    Somebody described it perfectly. When they say males are hunters and women are their prey like a deer this is what they mean. They go after the biggest deer and most elusive deer (successful, pretty, intelligent woman, happy, carefree-they definitely despise carefree women big time) they can catch. It's an ego boost for them to domesticate women like Eartha Kitt. They don't necessarily want you but they definitely don't want anybody else to have you either.

    I had no idea. Eartha Kitt was wayyy far ahead of her time, and it's surreal to me how much people of today can learn from her life.
    I felt winded when I read this part: because Miss Kitt truly deserved someone who loved her for her but instead got a dusty booty bandit . #Sigh.

    I hate to say this but this man targeted her. He knew who she was, he knew her potential, and he kept pursuing her because he wanted to take advantage of her. Ertha Kitt was a beautiful successful woman. It hurts me to know that she really wanted to be with Harry belafonte, but Harry Belafonte turned her away. This just shows that men of all ethnicities and all colors have the potential to be mean, cruel ,and nasty. I understand now why she made the video declaring that she would not compromise for anyone.

    Just goes to show that we need to vet ALL MEN, not just the ones from our own communuty. I bet he would have done the exact same thing if his wife was yt. WM have always been jealous of and abusive to women, it didn't start only in the 1960s. After all, who else were WW complaining about when they were complaining about men? 🤷🏾‍♀

    Financial abuse in the form of a spouse stealing from the other is probably more common than thought, but very under reported . I recently had a coworker complain that her husband bought himself a sports car with money she was saving for a down payment on an investment property she had her eye on. Another told me her husband used $14,000 to make some risky CRYPTO investments (he is not a knowledgeable investor) basically lost it all in some sort of scam.

      Dude SO common. I was telling a colleague about my relative's ex husband who would steal money from their joint account (which mostly consisted of her earnings). She said her dad used to do the same thing until her mother had enough and opened her own seperate account. I was shocked by what she said cause her parents are STILL married. I'm SO happy we are weaning off the times when you stay in a marriage no matter what happens cause my spouse stealing my money is a definite deal breaker for me.

      And who is it that is doing all of these romance/dating schemes swindling all these women out of their life savings. It’s not women. Although part of me wishes women would start doing it as a form of payback to all the men who’ve done the same to countless numbers of women.

    Married to her accountant? That figures.
    Bcuz men going after rich women and controlling their money was common back then. And there’s no way to do that without marriage. Same thing happened to Melba Moore. Some white guy she married made off with all of her money that steered her to welfare. Ike Turner retained all of Tina’s money and she went to welfare until she got on her feet again. That bs was very common back then. What wasn’t common was women not being married. There had to a man as head. 😢

    When i lived in LA i met a famous celebrity's daughter. She carried the female version of her father's name. When i saw the name i instantly said to her " oh you are so and so daughter". The father was in my grandma/ mother's generation. He was a legend in his time. The daughter was working with a stage producer and stage producer let me know he dispised this lady's husband. The stage manager caused a hugh situation involving me when he told thid woman she needed to pay now. Of course she came in w her hugh check book to settle the bill. The husband had stepped out to the car. When the husband got back and saw his wife writing a check he losted it and scolded his wife (mind you, i am just meeting these people, the stage manager standing of to the side w a scrowl on his face). The wife is upset, she doesn't understand the husband's anger. I didn't understand it either. The stsge manager he knew. He wanted so bad to say to the wife " woman you are the daughter of...." I hoped she left him by now too. She was in the same situation like Eartha.

      @@BurbNBougie yes he said it, he did not want the wife to use the check book. He did not want her writing checks even though both of their names are on the checks. He managed the money. She was telling him the same and he was clearly angry that she took the book and was writing the check. Mind you the stage manager set this up to let the wife see how controlling the husband was over her finance and life. Many women especially those who grow up sheltered are not aware of how the rope gets pulled in slowly when they get married to men who are beneath them. Apparently the lady and her husband had 4 children. In my short conversation with her she was so humble. She was surprised I knew who her father was.
